Hyderabad: The Telangana Advocate General D Prakash Reddy submitted to the High Court at Hyderabad the communication received by the State government from the Union Defence Ministry informing the ‘in principle’ agreement to transfer the Bison Polo Ground and Gymkhana Ground to the State government. He however clarified that the communication makes it clear that this ‘in principle’ agreement is subject to the approval by the Union cabinet.
Prakash Reddy passed this letter to the Division Bench comprising of Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice J Uma Devi on Tuesday during the hearing of Public Interest Litigation petitions filed by former DGP Bhaskar Rao and others challenging the proposed transfer and building of Secretariat and Assembly buildings on these grounds. The bench had, during earlier hearing, had asked the Central and State governments to inform about the status of the transfer of the lands.
After perusing the document produced by the AG, the bench commented that even the transfer is not yet done. So, there is no need to grant an interim order. Senior counsel S Satyam Reddy appearing for some of the petitioners submitted that the Supreme Court had also come down heavily against diverting open lung spaces in cities to building concrete structures. The bench directed the Central and State governments to file counter affidavits and posted the case to October 10th.
